In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this construction activity, students use a 2-liter bottle to build a fly trap.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, learners will collect, dry and press seaweed over the course of four days in a similar way that artists/crafters press flowers.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners corrode a penny in a cup with vinegar, salt water, and a source of iron (nails, paper clips, or twist ties).
